Think your ottoman is just a place to rest your feet or morning newspaper? We’ve got 3 simple ways to style your ottoman that’ll bring your space to life!
Ottomans are becoming a staple in home décor. Now that they’re being manufactured in every shape, size, color and texture imaginable, they’re popping up in family rooms, dens and living rooms across the country.
But we’ve noticed something peculiar: these gorgeous accent pieces either a) remain bare or b) collect clutter in your space.
The culprit? Many people have no idea how to style their ottoman.
Today, that changes. Here’re 3 simple ottoman styling tips to bring your space to life!
Styling Your Ottoman Tip #1: Go Pretty
In 2015, the ottoman is more than just a place to rest your feet; it’s an accent piece that commands attention and creates a focal point in any space.
If you’re looking to feminize your surroundings with something pretty, we suggest investing in an ottoman like the Priscilla Ottoman in blue.
Velvety and plush, this ottoman will wow the eye.
This unique ottoman features soft, velvet upholstery with deep button tufting that creates a sophisticated look no matter where it’s placed.
Because of its one-of-a-kind detailing, it doesn’t require much styling, which is perfect for those who like to keep things simple and elegant.
If you do want to add a touch of interest to this piece, a sleek and delicate wooden tray placed on top perfectly complements its coffee-finished wooden legs.
!nspire tip: Don’t forget to accessorize the tray with stylish bowl of potpourri to keep the feminine vibe going strong.
Styling Your Ottoman Tip #2: Go Practical
Are you a busy mom looking for a practical ottoman for your space? The Monaco Storage ottoman in tobacco is your best bet.
Practical storage starts with the Monaco Ottoman.
This distressed faux leather upholstery ottoman is deep and spacious, allowing you to stash anything from extra bedding to toys for the little ones. It also acts as a great piece for extra seating when company visits.
When it comes to styling, we love the idea of draping a simple beige throw over the side to contrast against its dark tobacco color, bringing a touch of lightness to your space.
Because of its rounded leather top, resting your drinks on the surface isn’t a good option. The addition of a wicker tray combats this problem, giving you a place to set your coffee down while tending to the kids. It’s also an easy spot to toss the TV remotes after watching your favorite movie.
Styling Your Ottoman Tip #3: Go Versatile
If versatility is what you’re after, the Lydia Cocktail Ottoman in grey is the perfect pick for you.
The styling options are endless with the Lydia Ottoman.
This stunning ottoman has many uses from extra seating to laptop holder, footrest to focal point and looks great in both formal and casual living spaces.
Its soft velvet upholstery instantly warms up any room, making it a great addition to your fall décor.
Looking to take your styling options to the next level? We suggest fitting a round piece of glass overtop this ottoman; it not only creates a solid base for resting drinks, it allows you to experiment with various accessories and unique floral arrangements on top.
If you really want to try something trendy, place a square mirror in the middle of the ottoman and rest a stack of vintage books on top. Drape a string of white pearls overtop the books to finish the look and make your guests say “wow” when they enter the room.
!nspire tip: Looking to infuse a little nature into your space? The sleek qualities of the Lydia Cocktail Ottoman look beautiful next to a rustic cluster of cacti and succulent plants.
